Specialty picking helps a post-80s young man in Xiping who returned to his hometown from migrant work get rich

Right now, during the fine season of spring warmth and blooming flowers, some green ecological fruit and vegetable picking gardens are becoming great places for urban residents to relax and enjoy themselves in their spare time. In Yifeng Village, Yangzhuang Township, a post-80s young man named Song Hui who returned home from migrant work has taken the road to prosperity right at his doorstep through this emerging form of agriculture.

Song Hui, 35 years old this year, was once a veteran. After being discharged from the army, he kept working in the south. After years of rushing about away from home, he, who was born in the countryside, gradually became homesick. Giving up the life of migrant work, how to get rich after returning to his hometown became a practical problem he had to face. Through investigation, Song Hui decided to make something out of the land.

Song Hui told reporters, "Later, when I looked into it, this future leisure agriculture seemed pretty good, so I came back and transferred several dozen mu of land, planting figs, strawberries, fruit corn, watermelons and the like."

Through investigation, Song Hui opened a specialty fruit and vegetable picking garden at his doorstep under his own surname. All the fruits and vegetables grown there use an open-field planting model of natural sunlight, natural growth and natural ripening. The base fertilizer uses pollution-free farm cake fertilizer, seeking not yield but only quality, returning to nature. Right now is the season when strawberries ripen naturally. In his picking garden, these naturally grown and ripened strawberries are especially welcomed by urban visitors.

Visitor Song Aiping said, "His strawberries taste sweet and fragrant, grown naturally. With long sunlight hours, they taste better than ordinary greenhouse strawberries, with a richer flavor."

Although not highly educated, Song Hui, who worked away from home for many years, is also a young man with ideas. To promote his own picking garden, he even applied to register a WeChat official account himself. In the picking garden, anyone who scans the WeChat QR code can also enjoy a friend discount activity.

Song Hui told reporters, "Now it's the internet age, and WeChat is also quite popular. Those who come to my garden to pick can scan WeChat and follow the official account to enjoy a price of ten yuan per jin. Our strawberries ripen from April to June. Next come watermelons, figs and fruit corn. From April, picking can continue all the way to November. Through growing these four kinds of fruits and vegetables, last year after working for a year, I also had an income of less than 200,000 yuan. I feel it's much better than working outside. Although I farm at my doorstep, I can still take the road to prosperity."

A motivated young man returning to his hometown explores and taps wealth in fertile soil through land transfer. In less than two years, Song Hui quickly became a prosperity expert in the village, with monthly income consistently above 10,000 yuan. The former migrant worker is changing his new life through his own efforts.
